The Gas Hope is registered under the Panama Ship Registry, classed by American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), and it is fixed by Erasmus to one of the world’s largest oil/gas major companies for multiple years TC period.
After the delivery of Gas Hope, the Erasmus Gas Carriers controlled-fleet officially reached 20 fully-pressurized LPG gas vessels, and reached the initial target as their top management team set back to four years ago when it determined to enter the domain of gas/energy transportation.
